I'm feeling a different winter vibe in this 2nd year of retirement than I did last year! My latest #NextChapter installment:

Boundaries between being "at work" and having "time off" were never firm for all types of jobs. But that boundary became blurrier ever since it was possible to check email on vacation. So I guess it makes sense that while retirement was an abrupt end to my full-time career, it hasn't (yet) ended all my professional activities. My latest #NextChapter #Retirement blog post:

This stage of life often needs to balance gratitude for life's blessings with grieving the loss of more loved ones as we age. It's an odd juxtaposition at times. My latest #NextChapter post:

After days of family, friends & feasts, wouldn't it be fun to attend an R-Ladies meetup about AI and R? 😀

My election data-and-reporting retirement project turned out to be surprisingly intense -- and rewarding! I missed having a team like I did when I was working, but I definitely didn't miss the higher stress. My latest #NextChapter post: "Work-Adjacent Projects (Cont.):

Some code completion suggestions are helpful in #PositronIDE, but the writing suggestions in Quarto and markdown files get me crazy. Finally discovered how to turn them off!
In Settings (gear icon at bottom left), turn off the "Editor > Inline Suggest" and "Inlay Hints" settings. You can do it just for certain file types, like @lang:quarto, @lang:plaintext and @lang:markdown - search and then disable in the correct workspace.

My election night R code worked last night! 🎉! It was inspired by @andrew & Gabe Osterhout's #PositConf2025 talk about the Idaho's election website built with R, Quarto & the {targets} #RStats 📦

This is also the first time I used the {mapgl} #RStats 📦 by Kyle Walker for a major project.

If I render my Quarto blog post, even with draft: true in the YAML, it seems to change some _site files. This causes issues when I have a draft I'm working on for a few days, because I have another version of my blog repo on a cloud server that updates events listings daily with a cron job. git conflicts! Is there some Quarto or git setting I'm missing? Or is doing this with multiple machines a bad idea altogether? Details here: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/discussions/13628 #QuartoPub #Quarto

When you're retired and no longer being reviewed and measured in the workplace, might you want to come up with a few goals of your own? #Retirement #NextChapter

@Lluis_Revilla
@andrew did a presentation at #Positconf2025 on updating a Quarto website with election data for the state of Idaho using the {targets} #RStats 📦. That may be a more robust workflow than you need, but it got me interested in targets for Quarto! You may want to look at his sample code? https://github.com/andrewheiss/election-desk -

Does it make sense to travel to a professional conference after you've retired? I decided to find out! How it went at the #Positconf2025 data science event in Atlanta last week:
